  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Rupaul's Drag Race
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

  • Entrepreneurial 'Insta-Drag': an Analysis Of
    MAKINGS, 2021 Volume 2 Issue 1 ISSN 2752-3861 (Online) makingsjournal.com Entrepreneurial ‘Insta-Drag’: An Analysis of Nottingham Based Drag Performers’ Social Media Profiles Zack Ditch1 PhD Researcher, School of Arts and Humanities, Nottingham Trent University, NG11 8NS, England Email: [email protected] Abstract Drag has proven to be a subject of particular interest in the fields of gender and queer studies, with recent debates exploring the neoliberalisation, globalisation, and deradicalization of the art form. This is usually attributed to the success of the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race and further research identifies that neoliberal notions of self- branding and competition have infiltrated drag due to this reality tv phenomenon and the heightened visibility of drag. Yet, most of these studies explore drag in the United States, leaving a gap that fails to explore drag cultures in other national contexts, their relation to neoliberalism, and notions of drag-related entrepreneurialism to engage the creative industry. Where current literature exploring UK-based drag does exist, there is a heavy focus on metropolitan cities such as London, underrepresenting smaller regional queer communities in mid-sized cities, like Nottingham. Surprisingly, little work utilises Instagram as a valuable resource even though it provides drag performers a platform of self-expression, branding and competition in facilitating a networked access to images, posts, captions, bios, and engagement-rates of these queer communities. Analyses of drag performer Instagram profiles might then reflect and develop work surrounding the entrepreneurial attitudes of drag performers. This paper seeks to occupy these blindspots within drag-based research by using an alternative approach that engages with 20 Instagram Profiles of Nottingham-based drag performers through a triangulation of data analysis methods.

This was despite national statistics that show a more than 95-percent success rate for incumbent CHICAGO pro-marriage politicians—and it’s nearly 100 percent for Democrats. page 6 And in Illinois, as of mid-February, just seven House members who voted yes on SB10 will face primary challenges March 18. “The right wing was constantly threatening us with the repercussions of this vote,” added Rick Garcia of The Civil Rights Agenda, one of the groups that lobbied for the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act. “But those didn’t come to pass.” Many of the primary races have not featured the marriage vote as an issue; the 39th and 40th District races, for example, center to a large extent on discussions of “Chicago Machine” politics, while the 26th District race might just hinge on how voters respond to the incumbent’s vote in favor of pension reform. In many cases, the challengers support marriage equality just as much as the incumbents. Christian Mitchell (above) is among the pro-marriage equality But advocates are working to make sure voters turn out for House members who lent their weight politicians facing electoral challenges.

    6CTA1110-0905-2019 - Degree Essay (Film & Television Production) RuPaul’s Drag Race - Shift from margins to mainstream. Lucy McCutcheon 16046740 Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Art (Honors) Film and Television Production Contents Abstract……………………………………………….…...…..…. page 2 Introduction………………………………………….….……...… page 3 Essay………………………………….………………….………. page 4 Conclusion……………..…………….……………..….………. page 22 Bibliography……………..………….…………….……………. page 24 List of Illustrations………………….……………..……………. page 30 Lucy McCutcheon - 16046740 1 ​ ABSTRACT RuPaul’s Drag Race (Logo TV, 2009) has been instrumental over the last ten years in ​ changing the perception of drag and drag culture in modern mainstream media. This degree essay will examine, as a primary focus, the evidence relating to the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the reality television series, the career of its creator RuPaul Andre ​ Charles and the growing franchise that he has developed, which has moved beyond its original television platform. It will delve into the history of drag and assess the impact of pertinent performers, including Danny La Rue and Divine, and compare the different elements of their drag performances. The evolving role of drag performances within cinema will be considered and the impact and legacy left by some iconic movies will be evaluated. With added insight into historical and modern queer culture and the examination of Judith Butler’s theories of gender and performance and gender roles, it will also consider Raymond Williams’ notions that the complexity of culture can be described through a cultural system including a dominant, residual and emergent ideology. This degree essay will utilise available literature, journal and newspaper articles, as well as relevant episodes from the television series and other salient sources, to evaluate the extent of RuPaul’s Drag Race’s influence and impact in ​ ​ changing the face of drag from the margins to mainstream.
